SLDR unlocks that distance by enabling the golfer to hit the ball higher with less spin – WHEN THEY ADD LOFT

SLDR can help all golfers get closer to the ideal launch conditions of 17*/1700rpm

All golfers can achieve distance gains without changing their swing or ball speed

SLDR is built to help you hit longer/straighter drives by promoting a high launch angle, lower spin-rate and faster ball speed.

That’s what makes SLDR our longest driver ever

SLDR’s CG location is both low and forward, due in large part to the large, 20-gram sliding weight on the sole. That promotes a dramatic leap in distance.

Moving the CG forward in a driver is a monumental shift in metalwood thinking. For years it’s been accepted that low and back was the ideal CG location for a driver. We’ve found this is not the best way to generate the most distance.

Long distance comes from combining of fast ball speed, high launch-angle and low spin-rate. We’ve discovered that moving the CG forward promotes more ball speed and less spin. To launch the ball on a high enough angle to maximize distance, we’ve discovered that most golfers benefit from increasing their loft, some by as much two or three degrees.

In addition to the low-forward CG benefits, the SLDR weight also represents a complete reinvention of movable weight, making it more effective and easier to use. Movable weight shifts the clubhead’s CG horizontally toward either the heel, to promote a draw, or toward the toe, to promote a fade. SLDR’s sliding weight allows you to shift the CG far enough to promote a side-to-side trajectory change of up to 30 yards.

The SLDR weight slides on the track and never comes loose from the clubhead. To slide the weight to any of the 21 positions on the track, simply loosen the screw, slide the weight, then tighten the screw. It takes as little as ten seconds. And the sole is marked with the words “fade” at the toe-end of the track and “draw” at the heel-end of the track to make it clear where you should position the weight to promote the shot-shape you want.

SLDR also incorporates our Loft-sleeve Technology, which allows you to adjust the loft. You can choose from 12 positions within a range of plus-or-minus 1.5 degrees of loft change. SLDR is available in three lofts – 9.5°, 10.5° and HL.

Aesthetically, SLDR’s confluence of shape, color and visual accents make it one of the most visually compelling clubs we’ve ever created. Its striking modern-classic shape, charcoal-gray crown and chrome “button-back” all adds up to a remarkably beautiful appearance at address. And the clean design of SLDR’s movable weight mechanism, including the single, blue weight and the track it slides in makes its appearance equally striking.

Went for a club fitting and hit about 8 different drivers and shaft combinations. The launch monitor stats on trajectory, distance, spin and consistency helped me narrow it down to the Titleist 915 D3 and the SLDR. After hitting about a dozen more balls with each club the SLDR won me over. I took my current driver (Ping G20) with me to compare as well. The SLDR increased my distance 25 yards, lowered spin rate by more than 1,000 rpms and had a much better trajectory. This club is a monster!!

I know the new R15 is coming out. Yet with the new lower price, I just had to pull the trigger. My only hesitation was the reputation for not being as forgiving with the low forward CG. After one range session, and one round, I just laugh at that notion. This thing is so straight, and so long, it's awesome. I could tell when I mishit the ball, I did loose a bit of distance, yet it always stayed in play. I'd rather be short in the short then long and behind the tree's or in the lake. In conclusion, I am pumped up about the possibilities for the coming new year. If you have been thinking about it, JUST GET IT! Yet do get fit. It is important to get the right loft, spin, etc. It does make a difference. Thank's for a great driver TM!!

I am a beginner golfer who struggles with a consistent hit off the driver.

The day I picked up this club(stiff shaft), I adjusted the moveable weight to favor a draw. At the second tee, with a normal swing, I hit the ball 325 yards, landing in the middle of the fairway.

Despite not repeating that drive for the rest of the round, I felt much more confident in my ability to form a consistent shot in the future. I would say that this driver will work well for even beginner golfers as they will feel more confident in their equipment.

This is an exceptional driver. One that lives up to its promises. It does add yards to your drive and the ball flies straighter.Found that for best results sweet spot is in the middle of the face, not the upper quartile. Hit more "sweet" shots with this club than any other driver I have owned. Would highly recommend!
